Why would you need to access the actual exception within your JSP view? I am not sure what your end goal is, but if you explain your idea further, I could give you a better answer.
I think it is bad style to have your JSP (or any view) know explicitly about Java exceptions - use your message key "error.data.page" as a state-flag to signal that a specific error was encountered to slightly change your GUI in response to the error or forward to an error-specific view, if you need to completely change the output based on an error. I think anything more complex should be left to either the Action to do additional processing before throwing an Exception or in a custom ExceptionHandler.
